The Center for Korean Studies invites three scholars studying on K-pop culture and Korean diaspora from various regional perspective. Dr. Wonjung Min (Prof., Pontifical Catholic University of Chile) will map out how fans of K-pop in Latin America, with a focus on Chile, share an imaginary bond created by an unfamiliar culture and develop imaginary cultural intimacy. Dr. Paul Michael Sneed (Prof., Seoul National University) will talk about a São Paulo's rapper Samukera using hip hop to represent the immigrant experience in Brazil. Dr. Jayson Chun (Prof., University of Hawai?i - West Oahu) will examine the historical influences of Asian America on K-pop, and also how in return K-pop has influenced Asian-American fans in the United States. *This event is open to the public who is interested and would like to learn about current discourses regarding K-pop culture and diaspora.
